Bus Hire in Skofja Loka, Slovenia

Bishops ruled Skofja Loka for nearly eight centuries, from the 10th century until Napoleon's forces dissolved church territories in the early 1800s, and the town's name still carries that history: Skofja means bishop's. What they left behind is widely considered the best-preserved medieval town centre anywhere in Slovenia, a tight cluster of Gothic and Renaissance houses climbing a hill above two rivers.

Once a generation, the town stages the Skofja Loka Passion Play, a religious procession dating to 1721 and recognised by UNESCO as intangible cultural heritage, one of the oldest such performances still enacted in its original setting anywhere in Europe. A castle above the old town, now a museum, watches over the whole scene, close enough to Ljubljana for an easy half-day coach trip.
